($20-$30 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) Century Room welcomes young drum phenom Calvin Simmers for his first headline show! Calvin will be presenting a centennial celebration of drum legend Max Roach, highlighting Max’s drumming and collaborations with artists like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Clifford Brown. Max’s innovations helped define the bebop era and reshape the role of the drum set in modern music, introducing a more melodic, interactive style of drumming that emphasized the ride cymbal for timekeeping and allowed for greater rhythmic complexity and conversation within the band. Beyond his technical innovations, Roach was a committed activist who used music as a form of protest, most notably in works like We Insist! Freedom Now Suite, which addressed civil rights and social justice. His fearless creativity and uncompromising artistry left an enduring legacy that continues to influence generations of musicians.

The SoapGirls are not just a band — they are a movement. Formed by sisters Noemie and Camille Debray, this genre-defying alternative rock duo has been inseparable both personally and creatively since early childhood. Their story is one of raw talent, relentless perseverance, and an unshakable sisterhood that has powered them from street performers in South Africa to internationally acclaimed headline acts on major stages around the world.
Over the years, The SoapGirls have forged a fierce DIY path through the rock landscape, building an empire from the ground up. With multiple internationally released albums and relentless touring schedules, they have captivated audiences across the UK, Europe, Japan, and now the United States. Their live shows are legendary — gritty, theatrical, and emotionally fearless — reflecting not just their musical precision but their commitment to creating a safe, unapologetically bold space for misfits and outsiders to belong.
